#Handmade - Hook case

I finally made my a hook case :-)
Just for my favorite hooks and notions so they are not scattered on my bedside table and I spend less time searching ;-)
Can you believe some of those Boyds cost as little as 29 cents?!

#Handmade - Face scrub pad

Original pattern > "Snuggle Puff" Circular Face Scrubbie <

Finished pad after 36st of hdc, it's big enough at ~2"

Total pad size ~3"

I'm not good at math, but did 2 patches now and come to 18 st in round 3, not 24.

It might be me, not having enough coffee though ;-)

I just increased in my next / last row in almost every stitch and came to 36 and called it a day.

Works as well :-)

I also switched to a chain 2, instead of ch1 at the beginning of each round.

I didn't break the yarn after finishing the second patch.

Instead I put together the two patches on the wrong side, chain 1 and slip st together the two adjoining inner loops of each last stitch (see photo).

Leave enough of an opening for two fingers & finish off :-)

#Handmade - Korb

Made a little basket for either projects or Leftover yarns (or anything else),
out of Sisal / packaging thread.
A bit tough to work with at the beginning and rough on your hands, but after a while it gets easier.

If you need a 'How to', drop me a note.

#Handmade - Schluffen aka comfy House shoes

I needed something to wear besides / over my socks. The floor is cold and the socks only start feeling wet after a while, so wearing these on top = comfy feet :-)

I made them a bit too big at the toes, haven't done them in a while :-)

I've used sock yarn and acrylic. Acrylic alone would result into holes at the heels and bottom really fast.
In a mix it usually is more durable. We shall see :-)

#Handmade - Soap holder

From Handmade

Notes
Ich glaube, meine Baumwolle ist nicht dick genug.
Wenn ich einen 2ten mache, werd ich es wohl mit doppeltem Faden probieren.

Aus der Beschreibung an sich bin ich nicht 100% schlau geworden. Ich bin einfach dazu uebergangen in Runden zu haekeln (wie es an sich auch am Anfang steht) und eine Seite Noppen und die andre im andren Muster zu haekeln.

Also die Noppen sind nach Fertigstellung und Seife drin parken verschwunden.
Hab das Endprodukt eben getestet und fuer gut befunden.
Nur fuer Rubbelnoppen (das klingt jetzt seltsam), werd ich mir wohl was andres einfallen lassen. Popcornmuster vielleicht?

Hab oben am Rand 1LF, eine M ueberspringen, 1Staebchen gehaekelt und eine Luftmaschenschnur durchgezogen und dieselbige zusammengeknotet.

Achtung!
Entweder groesser machen beim naechsten Mal, oder kleinere Seife nehmen.
Das Ding pappt an der Seife fest!

#Handmade, Winterfell pouch

Hauptmuster: versetzte Reliefstäbchen aus der Häkelbibel 

From Handmade

Made this pouch so I can easily carry my passport and phone with me when walking the dogs, due to recent police checks. I will add a lining and zipper at a later time, I think.

Named ‘Winterfell Pouch’, because it was made while watching the first season of ‘Game of Thrones’ :-)

A Bikini Top just for Fun and Giggles and for private balcony use :-)
The triangle pattern is from the ‘Häkel-Bibel” from Simply Häkeln.

Just one more square...
;-)
My Mom gave me the squares, she made them from Leftover sock yarn. She tried to crochet them together, but didn't like the outcome. I am not so picky :-)
Over time i will add more squares to make it a real big blanky :-)
